I think you are looking for problems in this model already for some unknown reasons. Currently Rovers model is working very well and no problems I see at all. When Mowbray was here we had 5 or 6 people involved in recruitment meeting. So no different to now. No it wasn't his signing but a board decision to sign him and look how that turn out

really?

Let's wait and see what happens. I have said what I would do and I can't be anymore clear than that. Why keep signing players when we have got players already in the squad who can fill that role. We don't need to keep signing squad fillers when we got good young talent players who can fill these roles and improve and develop here. We need another 4 or 5 signings now and that's is all we need.

You surprised we spent/committed to over 1 million pounds to buy him and happy to accept you were wrong we wouldn't spend anymore?

I am delighted by the signing of Callum Brittain. He is quality player and for me an upgrade on Nyambe. He also impressed every game I've seen especially at Ewood Park last season. Also to know from our director of Football Gregg Broughton that we have been tracking him for over 12 months. Very good interview on Rovers TV from him. Nothing confirm that James Brown will be loan out. I would keep him and loan JRC out instead myself but lets see in the future.

Jack Vale is having an excellent pre season so far. 2 goals and 2 assists in 3 games.

Kids? Again these are good young prospects who should be in the first team squad. I never those specific players but someone Jake Garrett has take Johnson spot or Buckley taken over Rothwell spot. Hayden Carter taken over the Van Hecke spot. We still need 5 or 6 signing and hopefully Callum Brittain is the first one of them. After that one, 1 centre back, 1 or 2 centre midfielder, 1 left attacking player then another striker if Ben Brereton Diaz goes. That's it for me Change in the dug out being one. I been saying that James Brown, Jack Vale andJake Garrett should be in first team squad since May. Ash Phillips since June. Or does it mean JRC or James Brown going out on loan? So Brittain and one of those 2 with other one loan out

Well I was the other side of the debate by want a better player in than Nyambe who I don't rate more than decent. So if we do make the signing that we been linked with then I would be delight with it Yes we have a few gaps but some of those gaps that we had have been filled by players like Hayden Carter, Jake Garrett, Ash Phillips and Jack Vale. we have a good starting 11 to be honest. Just add around 5 or 6 signings then we have good overall squad with some good solid players and very talented young players.

3 very good looking kits and I like them all. Buying the home one before the first home game as long as they have my size in

Roy's shot yesterday was pathetic to be honest. Just have just follow it through but didn't. I think Ali bats one or 2 spots too high. I think we need some new players coming in this team now like Harry Brook, Ben Duckett or Joe Clarke, Matt Parkinson for 3 examples Pace Bowlers wise we are more the good there.

Based on 3 games over 2 seasons against us. Plus a number of games I've seen on TV. Always impress me and He was Barnsley stand out player along with Styles that game for them. Modern day full back/wing back. Lets hope Rovers get this over the line. Would be very good 1st signing Totally agree Paul. He would be very good signing and would add quality to this team

I have been busy with other normal things that we all experience. nothing to do with me. very interesting stats there. seems like upgrade on Nyambe exactly Gooz. Rovers recruitment team will know all about him already. Scouted him, looks at all the stats, etc Let's get it over the line and if we do then we have upgrade already on that position.

Well we have to agree to disagree on this. I think JDT has done exactly what he said he would be by assessing the current squad including the good young players we have. Now we need a few signings which hopefully over the days and weeks we get in.; Don't need more than 5 or 6 signings in my opinion but its a good squad if we make the right type of signing.

Quick update. Good meeting with Steve Waggott. good guy He answered all my questions and was very personable. the pitch has been improve and a number of areas have been stitched up to help the quality of the pitch throughout the season. So money has been spend on the pitch as others have said. ST sales have been good and better than start of last season first home game. I won't given exactly figures. Not my place to. I was happy what I heard about how the new footballing structure brought in(I said I agree and wanted this structure in place for some time) and how we identify players and scouting. I won't go into exact details as it not my place or position to. Just for the record I didn't asked for specific names or positions we want signings in as I didn't arrange the meeting for this purpose or wanted to asked those questions to him. I praised the club on keeping its Category 1 status and being the only club in the championship who has this. It is important part of the club football strategy going forward and vital for our club. Spoken about the good prospects coming through now and how good it is for the future of the club Also just for the record I won't be answering any questions on the meeting.

I would pick Callum Brittain over Ryan Nyambe cos I rate him highly and think he has the capable to play PL football and it would be very good sensible and logically signing for me. 1000% agree there Yes we need a few signings but I don't see us as ill prepared for the season. I'm confident we will make signings. On Nyambe possible going to Wigan. Goof luck to him there. I don't rate him as highly has others on here. He did decided to walk away from talks even after reopening contract talks just before the season ends. I think he very average right back at this level. Think we can do better

Not talking about T20 cricket at all. I am talking ODI cricket. Where is the brilliant knocks against the India or Australia or New Zealand from Roy or Ali in one day international cricket in the last 2 years?

wasn't saying for Nyambe was I? I would be looking at Callum Brittain from Barnsley or Nathan Byrne from Derby who are better players than Nyambe. I don't rate Nyambe as highly as others on here do.

When was the last time that Jason Roy or Moeen Ali were match winners in a ODI game against a top 8 nation? Parkinson bowled very well in t20 finals day in both games and I would invest in him and a number of new players like Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, Will Smeed, Tom Banton, Callum Parkinson and Matt Parkinson.

No but his agent did re opening talks towards the end of the season but no agreement was done

Well I'm not worry as I know we will make the signings we needed during the transfer window and I am not panic about like many others including yourself. Yes the academy players like Jack Vale, Jake Garrett and Ash Phillips can fill in the squad roles that players and push on to become regular in the starting 11. We don't know how much interested we had in Ben Davies and others we get linked. I don't think JDT is peed off already but he is head coach and his focus isn't on recruitment but coaching the team and making the team better and tactics. Its Gregg Broughton job to bring in signings. Time the media and fans understood this why that Pete? I don't think you need 3 to 4 million fee and 20k plus wages to replace him with. I think you can find players that would cost around 1.5 million to 2 million plus around 10 to 15k wages of similar quality or better than Lenihan. Of course this comes down to good recruitment and scouting team. John Park and his recruitment team should have had a list of possible replacements already done for the next head coach and DoF. I agree with your point that you posted that if any players get within 18 months of their contracts ending and hasn't sign a new contract then we should sell them and get the fee we can.

I disagree we are unable or unwillingness to pay the going rate as that doesn't tallying up when we given new contracts and extensions to Thomas Kaminski, Lewis Travis and Sam Gallagher. Why am I comfortable with the Lenihan's situation? Cos we offer him good terms and he didn't want to sign them. He continue to play to his best and get us promotion last season. I think it came apparent in the last few weeks of the season he would move on despite myself and others wanting/thinking he would sign a new contract. He has decided to move on from our club and sign for Boro. He is steady Championship player Also I don't get too attached to players being here as it a Career for them despite what we might think. The last Player I got attached to was Alan Shearer. Since him leaving I never have again On Nyambe, Its been 19 days since he left us and no one has sign him up. So where are these queue of Championship clubs wanting to sign him and maybe the lack of interest in him is maybe why his agent reopen contract talks with Rovers?

what you consider the right wage for the player you want to offer the new contract, his important to the team and whether you can sign a similar or better quality replacement for similar wages or less. I am not a professional scout or know the wages or agents of players. Plus have access to the club scouting network/software. Its good to suggest names on a fan Rovers site and leads to good discussion on potential signings Yes I will. Might be tomorrow it happens but I will do report on what was said

I want Nathan Byrne or Callum Brittain. Both would be good signing and improvement on Nyambe Cyrus Christie would be decent enough. Yes
